*Flashback*

I looked through the locks of my hair at the teacher who was looking at me; it took me a second or two to realize he was actually talking to me. "Kaminari, are you listening to me?" he asked. I stared blankly at him for a moment, the kids in the class room giggled. "Sorry, sensei," I said, hanging my head. He sighed. "How many times has this happened now? You have to start concentrating in class, Kaminari. Or I'll have to talk to your parents again," he told me. My eyes widened. "No! I'll concentrate from now on! I promise!" I begged him. The class giggled again. The worst thing sensei could do was talk to my parents about my lack of concentration in class. My father would be so disappointed in me. Since my older brother was so great, a child prodigy, in fact. When I had first joined the academy, everyone had expected so much from me, my father, my mother, sensei, and the students. But I'd never been good at living up to people's expectations. My grades were lower than average and there was nothing but bad comments from the teachers. I had let everyone down, even myself. My father didn't talk to me for weeks after and the kids made fun of me. I hadn't made any friends, I didn't talk at recess and I went straight home after school. "She's so stupid," I heard someone mutter from behind me. I turned my head to see a group of girls, they giggled when they saw me looking at them. "She heard you!" they giggled. I frowned and turned back around. What had I done? "Kaminari?" a voice said, I looked up at the voice. "Yes, sensei?" I tried to say innocently. "Are you listening?" He asked. "O-of course, sensei," I replied. 'Damnit,' I thought, I hadn't been concentrating again. "Really? So, what did I just say?"

"Y-you said..." I felt my eyes tear up; he was going to tell my father and my mother, they were going to be so disappointed in me. "You said that..." I looked at him in desperation, hoping he'd feel sympathy for me and leave it. "I'm not going away till I get an answer," he told me. He sat on his desk and stared at me. "We'll stop the whole class until you answer."

I looked down at my lap. I felt tears roll down my face and drip onto my dress. "Y-you just said 'Are you listening'" I told him, as soon as the last word was out of my mouth the whole class burst into laughter. But sensei wasn't amused. "Kaminari, take a seat outside the classroom please," he said angrily. I nodded and wiped my tears, I got up from my seat, I could feel the eyes of the class on me as I walked down the aisles to the door, my head down. Some of them were still giggling, some of them were gossiping, but most of them were dead silent.

I had been a constant trouble for sensei, and what seemed like cheeky answers to him were actually the only answers I could come up with. It had always been hard for me to concentrate in class, even when I was really trying; I just kept getting distracted by different things. I opened the door and sat on the chair beside the door.

Time passed and the bell for recess rang, all the kids cheered happily and rushed outside. I stayed in my seat, knowing that if I moved I'd be in even more trouble. Sensei opened the door and looked at me. "Kaminari..." he sighed, closing his eye for a mere moment before opening them again. He closed the door behind him and squatted down in front of me. "What are we going to do with you, eh?" he asked. I looked down at my lap, my black hair twisted around my face, almost in a comforting way. "I don't know, sensei."

He sighed again. "I'm going to have to talk to your parents again, Kaminari," he told me.

I nodded. "I know, sensei."

There was a sudden banging on the other classroom door that went out into the yard that made me jump. Sensei got up, "stay here," he told me. He walked into the class room and towards the door. I heard him open it, I continued to stare at my lap. Then I heard a small voice, "Why can't Kaminari come out? Is she in trouble again?" I got up from my seat immediately. Sensei began to say a sentence but I interrupted something. "Its okay, Sasuke, I'll be out in a second, don't worry about me," I said, smiling at him. He just stared at me, looking ever so slightly annoyed, he knew what was happening, he was just frustrated that I wouldn't tell him. "Okay," he said grudgingly, taking a step back so sensei closed the door.

As soon as sensei did close the door he looked over at me and smiled. "You're very mature with your brother," he said. I looked at him. "Of course I am. I have to. He's my little brother, he's all I have," I told him. "What about your parents? And Itachi?" "My mother is lovely, but my father has to be a strong man, he's the head of the clan, a father and a husband, so he has to be tough on us, he can't show us care or we'll think it's okay to slack off. Itachi is always training and when he does have the time to do something with me, Sasuke normally tries to grab his attention, he's a good brother though, he's nice and kind. But like father he has to be strong, he is a child prodigy, after all."

Sensei stared at me, I didn't know if that was a good thing or not.

"And, I'd also like to apologize for my lack of concentration in class, I realize it must frustrate you a lot, my father will be very disappointed in me, as he should be," I continued. "Because I should be better than that, my father is head of the clan and my ane is a child prodigy, I should be better," I felt my eyes tear up. "I should be better than I am... but..." I started weeping, I was embarrassed, but I couldn't help it. "But you're not, right?" sensei said. I nodded miserably, still crying. I put my face in my hands, trying to hide my tears.

I heard footsteps and eventually felt a hand on my shoulder; I looked up to see my sensei smiling sadly. "You don't need to think like that, Kaminari. And there are no "I should be"'s in life, you are only what you are, and you can't do any better than that, you don't need to do any better than that. You just need to do your best, and the reason I speak to your parents isn't to punish you-"

I interrupted him. "It's not?" I asked. He laughed. "No, it's to help you," he said, poking me gently in the chest as he said 'you'. "It's so that your parents know the problem, and can maybe come up with some way to help fix it. But do you know what the real problem is?"

I shook my head. He smiled at me. "We never bother to ask the students. So, Uchiha Kaminari, why do you have a lack of concentration in class?"

I looked at him, and then looked down at the side; I had stopped crying soon after he had started speaking. "I find it hard, I get distracted, by thoughts, and things outside," I told him.

"And the kids in the class don't treat you very well, do they?" he asked. I shook my head, wiping the remaining tears off of my cheeks.

"And right now you should be outside enjoying the sunshine, go on, join your brother," he told me.

*End Of Flashback*

I felt something hard nudging my side and I groaned, whacking it away. "Well, I give up," I heard a voice mumble, and the sound of footsteps against soft ground making their way away from me. "Oh c'mon, you barely tried," a male voice said, a very drowsy sounding male voice. "If you think it's so easy, you try!" the female voice replied. "Are you kidding me? You know what she's capable of when she's awake, who knows what she's capable of when she's asleep!" the male voice exclaimed. The female voice sighed. "Oh please, she hasn't even awakened that sharingana thingy yet," she said. "I think it was called sharingale...not sharingana. And there's a chance she'll never awaken that," he said. "But that's the Uchiha's specialty, right?" the girl asked, curious. "Well, yes. But I've never heard of a female possessing it though, and it was quiet rare in the clan for anyone not directly descended from the clan leaders to have sharingale...gana...thing! towards the end of their...clan? Ugh, I don't know. I'm tired."

"Hey... Don't you think it was weird the way Kaminari lied about her name?" the girl voice asked, that I was now awaken enough to identify as Sayomi. "Yeah, but isn't that moody dude related to her? I mean, with his name, the crest on his back, his sharin...thing... So maybe she's hiding it from him?" The male voice – Kane – said. "Ohh... riiiiight. Now I get it. But why would she hide it from him? I mean, isn't he like, her last living relative?" Sayomi asked him, now confused. There was a sound of moving material, which I assumed was the sound of Kane shrugging. "How am I supposed to know? And he's not exactly her last living relative anyway."

"What do you mean?" Sayomi asked. "She has her older brother," Kane told her. "Then why doesn't she live with him?" Kane snorted. "Because he killed off all of their relatives."

"That was him?" Sayomi asked, obviously shocked. "Yup."

"So he must've been a pretty rotten older brother then, huh?" Sayomi said, I could practically hear her frown. "Dunno, you'd have to ask Kaminari... Which I don't approve of, by the way."
